Just about a year ago I set out on the road Seekin' my fame and fortune Lookin' for a pot of gold Thing got bad and things got worse I guess you know the tune Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

Rode in on the Greyhound I'll be walkin' out if I go I was just passin' through Must be seven months or more Ran out of time and money Looks like they took my friends Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again

A man from the magazine Said I was on my way Somewhere I lost connections Ran out of songs to play I came into town, a one night stand Looks like my plans fell through Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again

If I only had a dollar For every song I've sung Every time I had to play While people sat there drunk You know, I'd catch the next train Back to where I live Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again Oh Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again
